A lot of People have trouble doing the Drip Method The first time.

If the Pump has never been off of the Engine before it does not take much rotation to bring it back into time.
Disconnect all of the Fuel Injection Hard Lines from the Fuel Injection Pump so it is easy to rotate and more importantly does not spring back.

Scribe a mark a cross the Pump flange to the Engine Block so if things get bggered you can return to the same spot and be no worse off then you were before.

One of the problems with the drips is that if the Fuel pressure varies the amount of drips are going to vary. To keep the Fuel pressure the same I rotate the Pump a tiny bit; snjg down one Nut to keep it from rotating and than I pump and pump on the hand Primer while watching the Drips. If you pump enough the amount of drips coming out is going to be steady.

If you have too many drips you start the process over.

It is extrmely easy to rotate the Pump too much.

Rotating the top of the Fuel Injection Pump towards the Engine advances the timing.
